Invitation
On behalf of the Province of Alberta and Premier Ralph Klein, I cordially invite you to attend the XVI Tri-National Agricultural Accord annual meeting on Wednesday, August 9th through Saturday, August 12th, 2006 in the town of Banff.

Banff is located in Banff National Park, in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Banff has a colourful history dating back to 1883 and provides some of the most spectacular scenery in the world - pristine snow-capped mountains, crystal clear lakes and alpine valleys.

Banff provides the ideal location for what promises to be an interesting and challenging business agenda. The Accord program will also include special activities and events that are sure to be enjoyable for all in attendance. We will share additional organization information and agenda details with you over the next few months. Please watch for the launch of the XVI Tri-National Agricultural Accord official website later this fall.

I sincerely hope you can join us for the XVI Tri-National Agricultural Accord and the experience of the Canadian Rockies.

Yours truly,

Honourable Doug Horner
Minister, Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development
